Yeah, that's valid. It's not open source yet, but watch this space.

I can't even see people's email addresses when they sign up (as they just sign into their Claude Code account), but I get that you'd have to just take that on faith for now.

As it's a desktop app, someone can just point a proxy at it and watch exactly what it sends. You'll see that nothing like your conversations with Claude or even your login ever leave the app.

Yeah, I have used that and it's pretty good. For me, keeping up with multiple Claude Code agents got pretty annoying (hard to see which need your attention etc) so I felt like I needed a lightweight UI. I get that that isn't for everyone though.

Am removing this cap today in case of interest.

Thanks. Email me and we may be able to work something out - [email protected]

Honestly, no. I don't have a number, but:

VS Code with the extension uses Electron (heavy, because it bundles its own Chromium), extension host, and language servers which is what causes it to crash when you run multiple agents.

Abralo has a Rust backend (0% CPU) and has one shared webview (your native one).

But it's worth saying that the agents themselves use a huge amount of memory however you run them. That's why it's important not to layer additional overhead on top of each.

Anthropic have delayed the changes for now, but yes, this could be a problem.

If there’s no sensible solution, I’ll personally move to another coding agent (and will add that compatibility to Abralo).

Great, thanks. Let me know if you have any questions, issues or suggestions.

Yeah, herdr is great too. Will be adding other agents to this soon. Just started with Claude Code mainly because it's the one I use atm!

Is there any chance you could email me ([email protected]) with your OS and a little explanation of the bug (ideally with a screenshot)? Struggling to recreate it. Would be very grateful.

No, but I can look at adding this today. I'll comment on here again when added.

Email me and I may be able to increase the limit for you if you're willing to share some feedback? [email protected]

Thanks. Yeah - honestly, I'd be sceptical too. Too many bad dev tools around atm.

Let me know how the weekend goes.

Ah sorry about that. That is v annoying. Looking into it now.

Yes, that's very possible. Can let you know when it's added here.

It already has created jobs where people just act as reviewers and gatekeepers though. There are people who vibecoded products and are now running decent-sized businesses.

I'm able to control my coding agent even though it writes code better and faster than I can.
cwbuilds

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it will always be used as a tool however smart it gets.

In software, it hasn't replaced all the software engineers (even though it's better and faster than us), it's just meant that we now have more leverage.

We can write more code and work on more projects than ever. I don't see why we would suddenly stop using it like that?
cwbuilds

I agree. I don't think they're mutually exclusive. You can have something smarter than you which you use as a tool.

My point was that there's nothing objectively special about our level of intelligence, so it shouldn't be used as a benchmark.
